The highest rated show on MTV in years, "A shot at love" is a reality dating show with a twist. Usually the bachelor/ette on these is overseeing a gaggle of suitors trying to win his or her attention. The twist here is that Telia, a rapper/actress/internet celebrity is bisexual and willing to consider a male or female partner.
Because the suitors are competing across genders this throws off everyone's game. I mean as a guy, I know what the rules are when competing against another guy for a woman's atteniton, but do the same rules hold when the competion isn't a guy? Who knows and that adds the fresh twist to this.
As teams and indivduals the suitors compete in a rediculous series of contests, such as who can eat the most bull genitals, who can rub the most melted chocolate on their bodies etc , with the prize being alone time with Tila.
Each episode ends with the traditional elimination ceremoney and these rapidly became infamous in pop culture for the responses of some rejected suitors.
As a guilty pleasure this is a fun watch. One of those that will probably have you saying "Why am I watching this this?" but you still won't reach for the remote to turn it off.
If there is a down side, and why I only give it 3 stars? Look at the title. "First season" before they even finished airing the first season, they were casting the second season which really makes you call into question whether Tila is more concerned with finding fame for herself than love.
